Schools across Washington state are closing for at least six weeks, after Governor Jay Inslee issued an executive order Friday afternoon.
The move is part of a plan to fight the spread of the novel coronavirus.
A statement posted on the Coupeville School District web site reads:
Dear Coupeville Families,
Per Governor Jay Inslee’s executive order, Coupeville Schools will join the rest of the school districts in Washington State to close schools beginning Tuesday, March 17, through April 24.
At this time, the earliest students will be back in our schools will be Monday, April 27.
Schools will be open Monday, March 16, for students to collect their belongings, receive instructional materials and gather any essential education items necessary for the extended closure.
Steve King
Superintendent Coupeville Schools
**The Coupeville Schools Facebook page indicates classes will be held on Mar. 16 for all grades.**
